We were in campsite #2 From 1-Apr-24 to 10-Apr-24 (Solar Eclipse 8-Apr-24). Beautiful campground. Site #2 was fairly flat, plenty of space between sites to private yet neighborly. T-Mobile Wi-Fi was 3 of 5 bars. Sites 1 through 6 had trees but not enough to have blocked Star-Link. The host(s) (Brian and Diane) were fantastic. They made rounds everyday. If we were outside they made it a point to say hi and check on how we were doing. the only thing that would keep this campsite from being a 5 is; the shower facilities are a little run down. They're very clean but the concrete and paint are peeling/chipping. The toilet stalls are very small and limited to no ventilation. If someone takes a shower it becomes very hard to see or breath, the air inside becomes stagnate and thick.

A beautiful campground on an ideal lake well maintained by the Corps.
The Campground Host is friendly and always extremely helpful. The Host has been there several years, so he is another positive to camping there.

We visited in early April overnight. Nicely spaced sites. We had a lovely, high view of the lake. Enjoyed the birds and flowers.

Very quiet, great views, lots (but not all) of the sites have a covered picnic table. Bathrooms and showers were pretty darn clean. Great service and support from the attendant.
